I was just wondering, a r34 GT-T now goes for around 30k to 35k for a 2 door coupe. So how much do you think they will be in a year and a half time, so at the start of 2007? And is there a big difference in cost between manual and auto. Also if i get a 98 model how much would it ruffly cost to get an interior like the one below? Any recomendations for a back bumper? eg bomex ect.

I reckon prices will go up, up, up! Now that R32's aren't as appealing for their ridiculously cheap prices (due to the 15 year rule), the R34s will become more popular, and better value for money than SEVS R32's

very rarely would a modern cars price actually go up. but in saying that, i think that 34's will keep their value reasonably well. they are still relatively rare as opposed to other models, and there are not a great deal of them being complianced atm.

i would say they will only go down a couple of grand in a years time.

the average of prices has actually gone up by around 1-2k since i got mine bout 7 months ago.. its hard to predict the prices but i hope that it still stay at least in the mid/high 20's by end of next year

the interior in the pic looks like a series 2 (judging from the steering wheel and the cluster), they are fairly rare as a large number of gtt's ive seen are usually 1998/99 and a stock good condition series 2 example would probably set u back in the mid 30's if buying privately

expect some higher prices if you buy from a dealer

Totally depends on if its a series 1 (98-00) or series 2 (0.5-02), manual, auto, 2dr, 4dr

Also km are a big factor in their price. If you don't mind a car with ~ 100km on clock u can get a bargain.

But it's true, the 34's have really gained in popularity and have become a little more expensive over the past 6 months or so. Go figure!

Well last year september i recored a 34 for 35k and now a similar skyline is 28k from the same importer. I have even seen a 2 door r34 with 80 thousand km go for 23k. Although i think it was auto. But still thats cheap. Cost of compliance was included the only thing was rwc and reg. So i was hoping for a 80,000km 2 door coupe auto to go for 22k to 25k by 2007 although in good condition. I think its a posability if a import. Although private sellers are asking a bit more than importers. And dealers even more. So i think ill take my chance with an importer as i can save like 3k. Any recomendations on a back bumper for a r34? Pics included plz.

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
